Tracking the support trucks

I know this is about as interesting as watching grass grow. But is you want to see where the Grande Roma is right now with all the support trucks and many of the race cars on board here is the link. http://www.marinetraffic.com/ais/details/ships/247086800/vessel:GRA...GRANDE_ROMACA9UE1MB.jpg

It is kind of fun to use. They were well North of the Canary Islands yesterday and now they are to the South. They will skirt the Northwest coast of Africa and then head out across the open Alantic to Buenos Aires. Glad the African pirates are are on the East coast.

The Grande Roma is off the coast of Dakar right now.

If you use Google Maps and search for - Zarate, Buenos Aires, Argentina It will show you where it is going.

If you look just to the Northwest of the city borders it looks like another smaller city. But zoom in and those are cars and trucks that have been off loaded from another auto transpost ship like the Grande Roma. That ship has it's rear ramp down in the photo.

Mike the tracking hasn't updated for 10 days. I don't know why as the first few days it updated every hour. They were off the coast of Dakar on Dec 11. The ship could be in Argentina by now.

I just did some Google research and it will arrive at Zarate tomorrow morning at about 8 AM
